Professional Certificate in SME Entrepreneurship

A business startup requires careful planning. If you would like to start your own business, you have to plan well and do them rightly as well. Starting from investment to earn a profit is not easy. There are much more to do before you set up your own business and get into operations. For instance, you have to address the steps of legal issues at the beginning stage. You need to have a clear idea about making marketing and financial plans. You also have to know how to formulate a strategy to make the plans work. A good guide would tell you the threats at various phases and how to overcome them. ABP has arranged a two-months duration short course on Small Business Startup. This course will provide you hands-on information and learning on how you could effectively plan and start up your own small business.
